Hi again,
 
I just tried running fsck. When mounted, it gives me:
 
-------------
 
linux:/home/markus # fsck.msdos -f -r -v -t /dev/sda1
dosfsck 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
dosfsck 2.8, 28 Feb 2001, FAT32, LFN
Warning: FAT32 support is still ALPHA.
Boot sector contents:
System ID "MSDOS5.0"
Media byte 0xf8 (hard disk)
       512 bytes per logical sector
      4096 bytes per cluster
        34 reserved sectors
First FAT starts at byte 17408 (sector 34)
         2 FATs, 32 bit entries
   5852672 bytes per FAT (= 11431 sectors)
Root directory start at cluster 2 (arbitrary size)
Data area starts at byte 11722752 (sector 22896)
   1463061 data clusters (1697730560 bytes)
63 sectors/track, 255 heads
        63 hidden sectors

  Cluster 0 (2) is unreadable. Skipping it.
Internal error: next_cluster on bad cluster

Unmounted I get:
 
-----------
 
linux:/home/markus # fsck.msdos -f -r -v -t /dev/sda1
dosfsck 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)

Got 5815808 bytes instead of 5852252 at 5870080

This looks like fsck is not able to repair the disc?! Judging from google
results,
there also seems to be a lack of good fat32 scanners for Linux...
Any ideas?
 
Thanks again!
